1git-tag(1) 2========== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git-tag' [-a | -s | -u <key-id>] [-f | -d | -v] [-m <msg> | -F <file>] 13 <name> [<head>] 14'git-tag' -l [<pattern>] 15 16DESCRIPTION 17----------- 18Adds a 'tag' reference in `.git/refs/tags/` 19 20Unless `-f` is given, the tag must not yet exist in 21`.git/refs/tags/` directory. 22 23If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command 24creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless 25`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type 26in the tag message. 27 28Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is 29written (i.e. a lightweight tag). 30 31A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u 32<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the 33committer identity for the current user is used to find the 34GnuPG key for signing. 35 36`-d <tag>` deletes the tag. 37 38`-v <tag>` verifies the gpg signature of the tag. 39 40`-l <pattern>` lists tags that match the given pattern (or all 41if no pattern is given). 42 43OPTIONS 44------- 45-a:: 46 Make an unsigned, annotated tag object 47 48-s:: 49 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the default e-mail address's key 50 51-u <key-id>:: 52 Make a GPG-signed tag, using the given key 53 54-f:: 55 Replace an existing tag with the given name (instead of failing) 56 57-d:: 58 Delete an existing tag with the given name 59 60-v:: 61 Verify the gpg signature of given the tag 62 63-l <pattern>:: 64 List tags that match the given pattern (or all if no pattern is given). 65 66-m <msg>:: 67 Use the given tag message (instead of prompting) 68 69-F <file>:: 70 Take the tag message from the given file. Use '-' to 71 read the message from the standard input. 72 73Author 74------ 75Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, 76Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>. 77 78Documentation 79-------------- 80Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 81 82GIT 83--- 84Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
